Joe Flanagan
PhD Student

I graduated from UCL in July 2022 with an MSci in Natural Sciences where I specialised in neuroscience and pharmacology whilst also completing modules in psychology and organic/medicinal chemistry. My MSci research project focused on GABAaR mutations and epilepsy. I joined the Mellor Group as a PhD student in September 2022.
